Monday is America Recycles Day

Did you know that recycling 300 tons of paper each month from our schools and offices saves the District nearly $90,000 in avoided disposal costs? Not to mention over 61,000 trees saved by recycling this paper.

Your recycling efforts make a huge difference for our District and our community. Celebrate your efforts and pledge to do even more on November 15th, America Recycles Day. This national event is designed to educate, motivate and inspire individuals to recycle more while encouraging their friends and families to do the same. Every year, Americans pledge to increase their recycling habits at school, at work, and at home.

Recycling can be easy – and fun –for students, staff, and families and is one of the simplest ways to green up our schools and help the environment. You can make a real change in your school or office by pledging to recycle paper, cardboard, beverage containers and more. November 15th is America Recycles Day, but you can recycle every day! Click here to make an on-line pledge to recycle at your school or workplace!
